How come a retired pediatrician, as far from a geriatrician as you can get, wrote a book on aging? This retired pediatrician became a nonagenarian! What does this book cover? It is a travel guide to the land of Geriatrica where us aging folks live with maps drawn by the esteemed cartoonist Davis Fitzsimmons. There are chapters on planning for the trip, dangers to watch out for,housing, downsizing, my personal odyssey, plus geriatric health, love, and finances. Who is this book for? All us Medicare kids, those already dwelling in Geriatrica, new immigrants, children of aging parents, caretakers of the elderly, and any curious young adults who figure they will be old one day. My lecture will include answers to the above questions and time for your questions. I invite you to attend.

MARILYN HEINS is a retired pediatrician, parent, grandparent, columnist, author, and nonagenarian who has attended over 60 HSP courses and served on the HSP Board. She is a retired pediatrician and medical school educator who came to Tucson in 1979 to serve as associate, then vice, dean and professor of pediatrics at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. She began to feel that parents needed more advice on parenting than could be provided in an office visit. In 1989, she wondered if she could help by writing a parenting column and approached the Arizona Daily Star. She was hired and the Star has published well over a million of her words. As she aged she began to write columns on aging and decided to write a book on aging. A Traveler's Guide to Geriatrica, was published in 2020.
